WHITEHOUSE — Catcher Jake Bledsoe was 4-for-5 with a home run as Rockwall-Heath dominated Whitehouse, 15-5, in Game 1 of a best-of-3 Class 4A Region II semifinal series.

Whitehouse scored all five of its runs in the bottom of the sixth inning, but the game ended after the inning because of the 10-run rule.

Jovan Hernandez pitched a complete game to get the win. The only trouble Hernandez faced came in the bottom of the sixth when he walked three and allowed three hits.

Heath scored in every inning and chased Whitehouse starter Patrick Mahomes in the top of the second inning after a leadoff walk. The team’s biggest inning was a six-run sixth.

Bret Boswell led Heath with three RBIs. Jake Baxter, Timbo Duncan, Clayton Rasberry and Bledsoe each had two RBIs, and Jake Thompson matched Bledsoe with a home run.

Waco Midway 6, Denton Ryan 3: Despite a late surge, Denton Ryan was unable to erase an early deficit and lost to Waco Midway in Game 1 of a best-of-3 Class 4A Region I semifinals series in Midlothian.

Game 2 is 7 p.m. Friday at Midlothian.

Midway (27-10) scored all of its runs in the first four innings, opening up a 6-1 lead. Ryan totaled four hits off Midway starting pitcher Logan Anderson (8-1).
